Question Details:

Ph.D students at certain college must pass a two-hour long oral examination by five faculty members, which is called the Graduate Board Oral Exam. Suppose that each faculty member is late, independently, by an amount of time that has an exponential distribution with parameter 1/2. If all five examiners must be present before the exam can start, what is the expected time (after the scheduled time) until the exam can start?
